My computer has died... again... and this computer (my mum's) takes around five minutes to load each page, and that's just driving me insane... so please forgive my lack of communication recently and for the foreseeable future...
But for now... a very VERY long rant....
------------------------------------------------
I am growing to hate this country more and more each day, I really am.
I watched a programme last night on the BBC about the Rochdale kids from 1990 who were put into care for up to 10 years when their parents were falsely accused of satanistic ritual sexual abuse of their children... the social-workers' interviews with the children at the time were shown during the programme and to be quite honest, with my limited knowledge of how to question someone from the ONE lecture I had on it at university, I could have done a better job. The questions were so leading, none of the kids ever said anyting vaguely implicating anyone in abuse, they all denied that anything bad had ever happened to them and the social-workers put ideas in their heads by guiding the interviews in such a way that the kids were talking about things they would never have said voluntarily. They totally just had an idea in their heads, got carried away with it and set out to prove themselves right instead of finding out the truth.
The things that got to me, is that the two social workers who led the case, who were in charge of all the other workers involved, are still working in the child protection unit to this day... I was gob-smacked!
But the worst bit, the most gut-wrenching bit, was seeing this one boy talking after 10 years separated from his family... he was completely broken. You could see it before he even opened his mouth to speak, which he did very rarely. They'd destroyed his life without even a formal public apology, nothing... he was just a shell of a human being. It was so sad!
It's disgusting, completely and utterly disgusting and yet nothing's been done about it.
---------------------------------------------
And fucking hell, I want to strangle this stupid Ruth Kelly woman... how inept can one person be at their job? And a damn important job it is too! Damn right she should be taking full responsibility for the latest cock-up regarding sex-offenders working with children... it's nobody else's fault, except maybe Tony Blair for being a compelte idiot!
I really cannot see any good reason why list-99 and the sex-offenders list cannot simply be merged to form one list, with a separate list for those individuals who have been given a 'caution' as opposed to a conviction. So, one list for all criminals including sex offenders that must be checked when a person is applying for a job involving any vulnerable person, especially children, and one list for those who have simply been cautioned, but that is ALSO checked when a person applies for that kind of job. That way, those people with mere 'cautions' aren't treated like criminals but they're still checked and in these instances, they can be assessed on a case-by-case basis to see if they're safe to work with kids!
Why is it so hard to see that that's the easy answer?
Why can't this government just get off its arse and make a change?
Why does everything have to be so damn difficult that two girls actually get assualted and murdered because the system has failed and allowed a man to work at a school when he shouldn't have been allowed anywhere near any children on a day-to-day basis at a professional level?
What the fuck is going on with this country? It's falling apart, and not just at the seams... all over, left right and centre, and especially at the knes and elbows!
And John Prescott not paying his council tax??? Someone just hand me a gun and I'll get rid of the bastard once and for all. It'd instantly make England a better place to be... why not take out Gorden Brown whilst I'm at it?!?
Ok, rant over...
THINGS TO DO:
find out how to get to Canada cheap
find out how to get to Canada without a passport
find out how to stay in Canada without a visa
find out how to stay in Canada and not get found out by the authorities
find out how to get hold of a good gun for killing aforementioned MPs
find out how long the average prison term is for double murder of MPs
find out how much human kidneys are going for on the black market
find out if only having one kidney is bad with all my medical conditions
find out if killing my shrink would land me in prison or in an insitute
find out if there's any possibility of anything ever getting any easier and if not...
find out how to get hold of a large supply of sleeping tablets, cos I'll wash them down with a bottle of vodka and then I won't care anymore about any of this shit...
oh happy happy joy joy... isn't life great?
But for now... a very VERY long rant....
